STEUBENVILLE, January ia large
share of interest was centered this week in
the Grand Jury. That body has been in
mysterious session since Monday, and the
way subpTnas were sent out for witnesses
it is pretty evident that something will
drop after they adjourn. II is well under
stood that those saloon keepers who kept
their places of business open on Sunday
and the proprietors of gambling houses
will be the ones who will suffer. Freddy"
Harrison boldly announced that he had
sold his place out and was going to leave
the city, but Prosecuting Attorney Gregg
wouldn't have it that way, and had him
jailed to await the action of the Grand
Jury. Billy McAdams and Johnny Nc
Kay got a fair start of the Prosecutor and
are now in a place of safety. Considerable
other criminal business was also attended
to, among it the case of Thomas Watson,
the cook, who shot at Policeman Thomp-
son, and next week promises to furnish
some interesting court news.
